A Magickal Christmas Gift. Fated Mates, #2.7

Daniella Rossi wasn't mated. She wasn't even having sex. But somehow, she was pregnant. With the turmoil of the shifter world, the fear of the Society, and the completely impossible situation she finds herself in, she returns home to the mountains of Colorado. The healers are as flummoxed as Dani, but at least she's surrounded by family and the comfort of her familiar small town.  Quinn Darkwood knew the legends of mating.
But the fae hidden behind the Veil that separated Earth's human cities from the pockets of magickal safety hadn't experienced a true mating in nearly 500 years. When he starts to dream of a beautiful woman and the pleasures they could share, he believes it's nothing more than the long years of abstinence causing the heated dreams. But when another, new soul, reaches out to him, he's confronted with the very real, and very confused, mate that he didn't know he had. With the holidays approaching and the unexpected surge of strange magicks, will Daniella and Quinn find their way to each other with the help of their unexpected little one? Or is there something dangerous waiting to rip apart the small town of Serenity Springs and the magickal beings that call it home? Author's Note: This was originally included in the Small Town Holiday Anthology released in December 2021.
